Extract

In issue 24(1): 21–34 of the Journal of the International Phonetic Association, we reviewed the technique of dynamic electropalatography (EPG) (also known as dynamic palatography or palatometry) for recording information about the tongue's contact with the hard palate over time (Byrd 1994). The purpose of that note was to provide an introduction to interpreting palatograms, much in the same way that phonetics students learn to read spectrograms. In this brief follow-up, we will decipher and discuss the “mystery” palatogram presented as Sentence 2 in the original tutorial. The frame-by-frame data on this sentence occurred on pages 32 – 34 there. Readers should consult these pages to follow along with the discussion below. Examples of palatograms for a variety of sounds as produced by the same speaker were also included there.
